HUNTING EXPEDITION INTO THE ZULU COUNTRY. 
July \hth.— We started on our Zulu expedition 
from the Inanda with two wagons, Gibson and 
myself going on horseback across country. We got 
out of our way, and fell in with a hospitable Scotch¬ 
man and his wife. On going up a steep hill, 
leading two horses, I went to touch up one that 
was hanging back, when my mare took fright, and, 
after several plunges, succeeded in kicking me in 
the stomach and arm, though not very severely. 
I was able to go in pursuit in a few minutes, and, 
after more than two hours’ hard chasing, suc¬ 
ceeded in driving her into a Kaffir kraal. At 
sunset I reached Fuller’s, where the wagons had just 
arrived. 
YJtli .—After sundry 4 doctors,’ concoctions of rum, 
eggs, and new milk, we inspanned and got under 
weigh to the Tongaart. We loaded the wagons with, 
two muids (360 lbs.) of mealies, Edmonstone’s traps, 
and a host of blankets, treked on some eight miles 
by moonlight, and outspanned for the night.
